This seminar will allow for examination of topics related to French and Francophone literatures. Topics in any given year will vary but may include a range of themes and issues emerging from French prose (fiction and non-fiction), poetry, drama, and other genres and forms. The topics explored in this seminar are not limited to one particular literary work and may include different cultural contexts (e.g., France, Africa, Québec, Acadia) and historical periods (from the Middles Age to the present), as well as different methodological approaches. Course may be taken more than once for credit as long as it is a separate section code/subtitle. Course topics for the upcoming year will be posted on the departmental website.
